    “What a beautiful shepherd's hut with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay.”

    The interior is well kitted out with beautiful touches such as a log burner, powerful shower, heating, a comfy bed, air fryer and seating area. We were greeted with a lovely welcome hamper, which was greatly received. The grounds are stunning. With outside seating to see the stars, your own garden, fenced off and fantastic private woodlands with various walks to explore.

With outside seating to see the stars, your own garden, fenced off and fantastic private woodlands with various walks to explore. Chris made us feel right at home and was always a text away if we needed anything. It's also the perfect retreat for dogs and two are welcome, which was lovely for us! Thank you for a beautiful stay and we hope to come back again in the future!

The property

Llanarth 1.3 miles; New Quay 4 miles; Aberaeron 4.5 miles.

Collen is a lovely shepherd's hut in the tranquil countryside of Oakford near Llanarth, close to the countryside and coast of Ceredigion.

Ideal for couples, this quaint hideaway accepts two well-behaved pets and provides a peaceful haven amidst the splendour of surrounding province.

The open-plan living space that greets you has been carefully designed to maximise ease and relaxation.

You can prepare your meals in the kitchen and then enjoy them at the dining table as you make plans for the day's activities.

From here, you can curl up in front of the TV while the wood-burning stove keeps you toasty.

When it's time to wind down, the king-size bed invites you to doze off with a design that blends in with the surrounding countryside.

The adjoining shower room provides an elegant and modern area to freshen up every morning.

Head outside to the enclosed gravel area where you can enjoy your evenings roasting marshmallows over the fire pit/barbecue while exchanging stories.

In addition to the lawned area adding a touch of greenery to this quaint retreat, the outdoor furniture makes the ideal spot for alfresco dining or morning coffees.

Explore nearby Aberaeron, a gorgeous 19th century harbourside town with its famous multi-coloured Georgian houses all lining along the seafront.

If you continue along the coast to bustling New Quay, you can tuck into local cuisine at a range of independent cafes and eateries and hop on board a boat trip out to see the resident bottle nosed dolphins in the Bay, before enjoying a calming amble along New Quay Harbour.

A drive further north will take you to Aberystwyth, with its picture perfect Victorian promenade and magical views of Cardigan Bay from atop Constitution Hill.

Collen is a wonderful retreat amid the colorful landscape of Ceredigion's picture-perfect countryside.
